Data resides on Networked Attached Storage (NAS) environment. Security patches/updates are immediately applied to the host environment. Data is stripped/mirrored using RAID 50 technology to protect data from disk failure. Nightly backups are preformed and files are written to magnetic tape and stored in an onsite / offsite location.

During necropsies, data were recorded on data sheets. Data were then entered manually into the database, examined for completeness and accuracy (e.g. no transcription errors) and maintained by the custodian.
